When not writing reviews and best buys for a range of products from coffee grinders to digital pianos, he can usually be found making coffee or agonising over the perfect song for the team’s weekly Spotify playlist. As an avid jazz fan, Gareth also dabbles in music journalism, having written for publications such as Jazz Journal and Jazzwise.
